SHOPPERS are more price-conscious today than they were in the recession of the early 1980s, according to research by Greenwell Montagu which warns retailers to ‘abandon price restraint at their peril’.

I think it is rooted in a very ancient, neo- Protestant response: iconophobia – the fear of the image as a source of seduction and confusion.How easy life would be, if everyone returned to inky letters on wood- pulp as their main source of information! But that simply isn’t going to happen. For every moan about how soaps and blockbusters are dazzling our eyes and dulling our senses, there are new media, arrived and imminent – CD-Roms, computer simulation, digital broadcasting, Internet shows of all kinds – that combine image, text and sound in undeniably communicative ways. Perhaps they should listen to even higher mandarins than themselves – such as George Steiner, who has recently been exulting over the possibilities for a future literacy brought about by multi-media and cyberspace.The attack on media literacy is a fearful response to that kind of future – perhaps also rooted in a resentment of younger generations who will be comfortable in the new technoculture. Appalling that this shift from word to image is being made in the first place; damned disgusting that these brats are being educated to make the most of it!The lack of historical perspective is breathtaking. Does not the very existence of the print media depend upon an environment of literacy beginning with the public sphere of the 18th century, and expanding with mass literacy in the 19th and 20th? And who can deny that the rise in textual literacy raised the standards of print media, in all kinds of journalism, as cause followed effect?It seems reasonable to presume that a rise in audio-visual and digital literacy among the public spheres of the 21st century would also raise the standards of their new media. Informational capitalism, no matter how huge its barons, is nothing if not consumer-sensitive. If those consumers happen to be media-literate citizens, equipped to deal with their society of the spectacle through a comprehensive media education, they are more likely to demand the highest standards from the service providers and programmers of the future.And what is wrong in doing hard statistical analyses of media empires? Or is the prospect of a generation being educated to “follow the money” even more threatening than one that reads the signs?Politicians and commentators, wringing their hands over the demise of our golden age of broadcasting and journalism, have the remedy before them: media education should be a part of any progressive government’s educational policy.

But if they continue to be fixated on literacy as black marks on a page, ignoring the mouse, joystick and channel-changer, they will miss out on one of the most emancipatory prospects of the next century: a media-literate, and therefore truly effective, citizenry Or is that something they fear too?. “There are three ways of giving money to a political party. Two of them are legitimate and one is not” – a Labour official, commenting on yesterday’s report of the millionaires who are bankrolling Tony Blair’s Shadow Cabinet. The three options are: (a) Both the recipient and the public could know who has given the money; (b) Neither the recipient nor the public know, in which case the politician cannot theoretically be influenced by the donation; (c) The recipient knows but the public does not, which is what the Conservatives do. Now, it is absolutely true that the funding methods of the modern Tory party are indefensible and undemocratic. It is true that yesterday’s Sunday Times report of the “secretive fund” that pays the meagre salaries of researchers for Robin Cook, David Blunkett, Jack Straw and others was self-rebutting, in that it was based – if you persevered to paragraph 16 – on information openly and willingly provided by the Labour Party about the source of this money. But it is also true that the Labour leader’s arrangements for a “blind trust” to pay for his unprecedentedly large private office are unsatisfactory.
The blind trust was set up along the lines of options (b).

The identity of its donors is known only to the fund’s three trustees, who are charged with ensuring that they are neither criminals nor foreigners and then passing the money on. The trust was approved by Sir Gordon Downey, Parliament’s ethics watchdog, as a way to avoid the perception that people who helped to finance Mr Blair’s office wanted to buy influence. Sir Gordon may now regret his decision, which he is currently re-examining. On the narrow point of avoiding influence-peddling, the device is fine.

But it fails to convince when viewed as part of the broader picture.The Labour Party has made great play of its openness about the source of its money. As well as affiliation fees from trade unions, it now publishes the names of donors giving more than pounds 5,000 in any one year. And it has contrasted this with the absolute secrecy of the Tory accounts.”It is a disgrace that in a democracy a political party can hide the sources of its funding from the public,” said John Prescott last year, once again performing the valuable service of speaking plainly. But it undermines his claim to be “Honest John”, and Labour’s claim to the moral high ground, that Mr Blair, Mr Prescott and Mr Brown should all have blind trusts that hide the sources of their funding – even if they are also hidden from Labour’s Big Three themselves.

And who is to say there will not be nods and winks as to the source of the money?The real problem for Labour is that there may well be two different ways of accepting political donations which are both better than the Tory way, but is one not better than the other? What is wrong with complete openness as a guiding principle throughout? Why should the Labour leader and his top brass have private funds at all? It is, at the very least, confusing that there should be separate funds for the top three operating under one set of rules, and a fund for the rest of the Shadow Cabinet apart from the Labour Party itself, both of which operate under the rules of full disclosure.The problem is not simply one of who gives the money, but who spends it. Party leaders have always had semi-private funds to pay for their offices. Harold Wilson subsidised his by selling his memoirs in between his two periods in 10 Downing Street And it has always been a sensitive issue. “Who pays for Ted Heath’s yacht?” Wilson growled, when pressed on his own funds.Recognition that there was a problem lay behind the introduction in the 1970s of modest public funding for opposition leaders, the so-called “Short Money” (a reform that gave Michael Portillo his first political job, as a Tory frontbench researcher).The funds that are available to Mr Blair – reportedly pounds 2m – are substantial and are spent at his discretion.
